Slavoj Žižek 'Maybe Fukuyama has won'

Slavoj Žižek tells us why Francis Fukuyama's 'End of History', despite of its dismissal, may be right.

Even Fukuyama doesn't want Fukuyama to win

But china isn't a good manager of capitalim. State run controls always produce distortions. Tese countries just have positive distortion now.

Totally agree. In some way we have approached a "zero point". Of course, history is still developing but, in some way, some things, if not settled down now, they are in a process for that to happen. This is felt each time with more intensity. Humanity is in a clear process of a certain homogeneization. Not in the bad sense of it, because it's part of an homogeneization which is inherent to it's nature. Global capitalism and globalization in general are the clearest examples of this. Also the fact that the "left" no longer has the will to change things, probably because there are no too many things to be changed. In the political sense of it, the extremely unstable XX century is over. Now we are living in the most stable and linear period of time.

Zizek is correct Laos, NK, Cambodia, China are efficient at producing stuff. Two one I can think of is maybe Cuba against this rule
